Just wanted to quickly lob this in simply because this stuff really is SO damn good and, with Christmas parties coming up, I thought I'd spread the news

Kinda like a bit of "Botox in a bottle" - instant fix, lasts (on me) around 7-8 hours. Which means if I have it on before going out to dinner, I won't look like I've aged 10years by the time dessert is served.

Loads of other YouTube vids about it too, btw.

Probably about the 2nd time I've ever posted in the Snug

Oh dear. It was laundry balls at dawn yesterday when television presenter Kirstie Allsopp suggested that it was unhygienic and frankly appalling, darlings, to have your washing machine in your kitchen.

I thought most people nowadays had a scullery, outhouse, utility room for their washing machines, dryers, freezer and the like, if not, where do they stow their fishing and shooting attire???.

Hello Major.

I keep my freezer, dishwasher etc in the kitchen, i don't have and fishing or shooting stuff.

I'm having bother with my grey roots. They're showing through after a couple of weeks. Semi permanent dyes don't cover them but I'm worried about using a permanent dye on my hair every few weeks not to mention the expense and faff. I'm not even that old so the grey hairs are pissing me off.

I just use a tinted moisturiser, Body Shop usually, and I use E45 for everything - moisturising and cleansing, the cream not the lotion. I get it from Amazon in a big pump dispenser. My skin is pretty dry. Body Shop Hemp hand cream for my hands.

Foundations also clog the pores... Not to mention many women don't seem to wash the stuff off properly, using alcoholic wipes, etc...

Why not share your tips here with others. We are all women after all, and each of us will age. I have a nightly/daily routine, though I wish I had started earlier than last year! pmsl If I could give one peice of advice, it would be to say it's never too early or late to start. I was lucky, but there are bits I'm not happy with, just like anyone else.

So what's your secret or peice of advice?

Hydration, but let the clorine evaporate before drinking. A hour and room temperature. Don't wash skin with soap to often. Water is corrosive enough! Two glasses of water 15min before dehydrating skin in shower, bath or pool.

A while back I dyed my long hair very dark brown, almost black. I want it light reddish brown which is my natural colour. I tried one of those hair dye removers that "shatter" hair dye molecules and they are rinsed out. The rinsing needs doing a LOT as the colour can re-expand if not rinsed out and the dye doesn't wash out. Basically most of the almost black stayed put and I ended up with two inches of yellow roots. It was patchy too. I don't recommend those types of hair dye removers at all. If you don't have a shower head it's impossible to rinse out properly. I got it in Boots. My nephew's wife is a hair dresser so I might ask her to sort it out for me in return for baby sitting / dog sitting while she has a night out. Thankfully I had some home hair dye in chestnut brown so I managed to get it done so I don't have to see my GP with yellow roots and black mid lengths and ends!

Janet Jackson is pregnant at 50 years old. The Daily Mail article is from early on in her pregnancy and there are also recent ones where she has showed off her bump. There have been other celebrities in their early 40s to late 40s who have been pregnant. Would you consider having a baby in your 40s - 50s? Do you agree or disagree with it? I am on the fence. I think if you are physically fit, active and financially comfortably off at least I think it's OK. The only thing is that worries me is you will be 70 when your child is 20 if you have a baby at 50. Would it be fair on the child? They would feel they would have to look after you when they're starting out in adult life. However if you are young for your age it might be OK. Another thing is increased risk of complications with a 50 year old's pregnancy such as babies with Down Syndrome, so I have read. I'm not really sure whether I'm in agreement or not but it's their body, their life so is it anyone else's business? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... ld-50.html
